2023 POSTGRADUATE GUIDE FOR AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS

John Christie FORMER US NAVY SEARCH AND RESCUE. MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MODNPODS. MBA AND FINANCE ALUMNUS. “I started my business ModnPods in 2016 while I was getting my MBA from Bond, and went back for the Master of Finance when the business was established. Both degrees helped prepare me for different stages of ModnPods. I can confidently say a postgraduate degree is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

In a competitive workforce, it pays to stand out. Ongoing education is critical in today’s everchanging workplace, so it’s important to choose a university and program that will set you up for success – and set you apart from the rest.

Learn from the best in the business We know that the most valuable lessons can’t be found in textbooks, but rather, are based in real-world experience. At Bond, you will learn under the mentorship and guidance of high-profile industry identities and internationally recognised researchers. With them, they bring decades of wisdom and a wealth of industry contacts, which ensure you will be gaining highly relevant skills and experiences that you can apply to your career immediately.

Build a global network It isn’t just your lecturers and tutors that will form part of your new network – future colleagues, clients and contacts are right by your side in class. Grow a lifelong professional network by studying alongside a diverse cohort of students from more than 90 countries, all of whom have a range of life and professional experiences to connect with and learn from.

Benefit from personalised career support There are many reasons for pursuing postgraduate study. Whatever your ambition, you will have access to personalised career support services through our Career Development Centre. In the classroom, the connections you make with your industry experienced teachers – and their networks – have limitless potential to enrich your time at university, and your future career.

A postgraduate qualification, tailored to you. Every person’s background, experience, and personal and professional goals are different, so it’s important that your postgraduate study path is created especially for you. Bond’s postgraduate programs are designed with flexibility at their core, ensuring you can curate your studies to meet your career goals and to fit with life’s many other commitments.

Start in January, May or September Bond runs on an accelerated timetable with three semesters per year. Not only does this give you the flexibility to start your program on your terms, but it also enables you to complete a master’s degree in as little as 12 months full time. Even if you choose to study part time, the threesemester schedule still permits you to accelerate your progress without an overwhelming workload.

Part-time study options We understand that there’s more to life than studying, which is why we offer part-time study options. You can complete your program with a reduced subject load each semester, creating space to pursue your academic dreams while chasing your professional or personal goals.

After-hours classes Many of our programs offer after-hours classes, designed to fit around your professional and personal commitments.

Intensive subject delivery Some subjects are also offered via an intensive mode of delivery, which means you can complete an entire subject over a short period of time – for example, a weekend or week-long period.

Career guidance, every step of the way As a postgraduate student at Bond, you will have lifelong access to career development support through the Career Development Centre. Our team of experts are dedicated to ensuring your success, giving you access to a full suite of career services.

Building a better business with bots What started in the guest bedroom of Neeti Mehta Shukla’s house has now become a $US6.8 billion robotic process automation (RPA) company. Ms Shukla graduated with an MBA from Bond in 1997 and launched her company, Automation Anywhere, with her husband in 2003. Within minutes they already had their first customer. Now, Automation Anywhere has its global headquarters in San Jose, California, and a client list including ANZ, University of Melbourne, Dell, Sprint and more. It has also deployed over 2.8 million bots to support some of the world’s largest enterprises. The company allows users to create custom software bots with Automation Anywhere technology that automates manual, repetitive business and IT processes. The bots, which utilise artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, can be configured to perform tasks assigned and controlled by the user. The headquarters are a long way from Bond University, but Ms Shukla keeps the University close to her heart. She’s even a member of the Bond Business School Advisory Board. “The education, professors and courses were so impactful and also really diverse. I had the time of my life. All the friends I made there have been for life, and we still keep in touch and meet when we can,” says Ms Shukla. “It was a good combination of education that stretched my boundaries and allowed me to get the best from the world.”

Professor Steve Stern PhD, MSci, BSc INTERNATIONAL STATISTICS EXPERT. CUSTODIAN OF THE DUCKWORTH-LEWIS-STERN METHOD. PROFESSOR OF DATA SCIENCE. “I don’t teach facts, I teach ideas. I’m not interested in my students regurgitating facts and theories about stats; I want them to understand the real reasons behind data analysis methods and understand how and when analytic techniques should, and more importantly shouldn’t, be used. “Data analysis is the skill of the future. If you know how to understand and analyse data, there is no industry or career in the world you can’t be involved in somehow.”

Ross Healy STORYTELLER. SENIOR CONTENT SPECIALIST. COMMUNICATION ALUMNUS. “I was working in a creative agency in Europe when I decided to return to Australia to complete my master’s at Bond. I chose subjects I felt would give me the best transferrable skills. When I was studying, my job today didn’t exist back then. Nobody would have known that social media would have taken over the way we communicate as it does today. Thanks to Bond, I left university with everything I needed to thrive.”

Sarah Marko NUTRITION AND DIETETIC PRACTICE STUDENT. PLANETARY HEALTH CAMPUS AMBASSADOR. FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER. “Bond has prepared me for the future in ways that I didn’t expect. I’ve developed the knowledge and skills required to excel in my field, but beyond this, I’ve developed leadership skills that stem from the opportunities a small cohort brings. The individualised support I’ve received from professors has helped me not only to recognise my strengths, but to build on them – making a world of difference to how prepared I feel as I embark on my career.”

Tony Yang MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ALUMNUS. FOOTBALL FANATIC. SPORTS DIPLOMAT. “My passion for soccer paired with my international relations degree resulted in an opportunity to travel the world refereeing at different football clubs. The contexts I was able to explore, particularly after COVID-19, offered insight into how sports might relate to geopolitics and sociology. “I was then fortunate enough to be introduced to sports diplomacy expert Dr Stuart Murray, who is now my current PhD supervisor. Now, I stay involved on the field as a referee, which in turn feeds into my research in sports diplomacy and my passion to continue exploring all the sporting industry has to offer.”
